The skin is rejuvenated at night! There is nothing surprising in this, because it is in the period from 23:00 to 04:00 that active renewal of skin cells takes place, but only if you yourself are sleeping at that time. Therefore, if you applied a night cream and sat comfortably for more than two hours in front of the TV, then do not expect the proper result.
This reaction of the body is due to the fact that during the period of night wakefulness, the hormone cortisol is produced, which contributes to the destruction of skin cells. And if you sleep at night, then during the 7-8 hours of night sleep you need, the body produces another hormone – growth hormone, which, on the contrary, helps to improve the condition of the skin.
Today, everyone knows that sleep consists of alternating phases of slow and rapid sleep. But not everyone knows that the processes of renewing the body’s vital forces, including improving the condition of the skin, occur during the phases of slow sleep. Therefore, according to experts, around one o’clock in the morning (taking into account the fact that you went to bed before 11 p.m.), the division of cells is about eight times more active, which contributes to their renewal by a total of 60%.
The maximum vascular circulation occurs from 23.00 to 04.00, during the same period a high degree of penetration of useful substances from cosmetics into the skin is noted. Such a time schedule is more satisfying for “larks” – those who go to bed early and get up early. He goes to bed late and long-sleeping “owls” have to move this schedule by two hours.
HOW TO MAKE NIGHT GOOD FOR SKIN HEALTH?
First of all, you need to start taking care of yourself with water procedures, so a warm twenty-minute bath with a water temperature of no higher than 38 ° C, or a 10-minute shower is ideal for removing impurities and opening pores. The amount of cream applied to the skin in the evening can be greater than during the day, because you no longer need to go anywhere. Cosmetologists advise to finish the evening care ritual by raising your hands to your face and inhaling the smell of the cream. Such a moment of aromatherapy, according to experts, will tune the brain to the beneficial effect of cosmetic products.
Secondly, it is very useful to have sex in the evening, because the hormones produced during sexual intercourse are not only excellent antidepressants (for example, oxytocin, which is involved in the synthesis of endorphins), but also contribute to the elasticity of the skin and the shine of the hair (estrogen hormones). In addition, it is useful to know that during one passionate act of love burns from 200 to 600 kcal, which is compared to a forty-minute run, 15 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minutes of strengthening exercises.
Thirdly, yoga is very useful at night, practicing which you can also train your breathing. Try to start with elementary exercises – sit on the floor with your legs crossed, relax your shoulders and straighten your back. Close your eyes, wait for your breathing to calm down, and inhale deeply through your nose, exhaling through your mouth. On exhalation, try to free the lungs as much as possible. Repeat the breathing exercises for a few minutes. Do not forget to air the room beforehand, enriching the air in it with oxygen.
